Recap of January 10 BOS Meeting

The Board of Supervisors at its January 10 meeting reorganized for 2017, but could not decide on who will be Chairman.

Both current Chairman Bill Robertson and Supervisor Donald Hunter had their names placed in nomination for the Board’s top leadership position, but failed to get a majority. Hunter was nominated by Supervisor Alan Carmichael, and the vote was 2-2. Chairman Robertson was nominated by Jerry Skalsky, and that vote as well was 2-2.

Supervisor T.J. Webb was absent from the meeting following injuries he suffered at his workplace last week.

The BOS by-laws call for the election of officers to be placed on the agendas of every future meeting until a Chairman & Vice Chairman are selected. The next regularly scheduled meeting is January 24. Following the deadlock on the vote for Chairman, the vote for Vice Chairman was deferred until January 24 as well.

The BOS did approve as part of its organization the by-laws, meeting schedule and appointments to boards and commissions. Webb was reappointed to serve on the Crater District Planning Commission and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); and Chairman Robertson was appointed to the Virginia Gateway Region Board of Directors.
